SWELLING BEHAVIOR AND FLOW RATES OF A NOVEL HYDROPHILIC GASKET USED IN COMPOSITE GEOMEMBRANE VERTICAL CUTOFF WALLS AND INFRASTRUCTURES EXPOSED TO CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER

The swelling capacity of novel hydrophilic gaskets used in geomembrane cutoff walls and infrastructures is critical for decreasing the flow rates of contaminated groundwater.This study investigated the swelling behavior, relaxation characteristics, flow rates, and micro-morphology of a hydrophilic gasket with different testing liquids.The radial sw

Studying the spatial pattern and interspecific associations of plant species may provide valuable insights into processes and mechanisms that maintain species coexistence.Point pattern analysis was used to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of twenty dominant tree species, their interspecific spatial associations and changes across life stag

We propose a methodology useful for food services, allowing contribution Erotic Games margins to be optimized.This is based on statistical tools, inventory models and financial indicators.To reduce the gap between theory and practice, we apply this methodology to the case study of a Chilean company to show its Pot Holders potential.We conduct a rea

Differences in the use of resources by similar species have been related to a reduction in the interspecific competition that allowscoexistence.Also, other factors, such as high availability of resources in the environment, vegetation structure, environmental heterogeneity, reproductive modes, and predation, can influence the use of resources and f

Scrub typhus is an acute febrile mite-born rickettsial infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (formely called Rickettsia tsutsugamushi).This infection is very uncommon in Pedal Pad neonates.We report a case of 19-day-old newborn presenting with clinical features mimicking severe sepsis but was subsequently diagnosed with primary scrub typhus in
